As a technophile who does not affect you in any way, shape or form (who also lives in another country than you), I would like to convey to you my heartfelt and emphatic "FUCK YOU TOO ASSHOLE".

Why do we need 800Gbps on a cellphone? Or even 100Gbps?

So I can download an app in 560 microseconds? I do not see the point. What possible use case is there for that much bandwidth, even if data caps went away (yeah right)..There is only so much you can do with a mobile device.

Does it matter if I download an HD movie in 30mS instead of 400mS? Or even if I download a 4k movie in a fraction of a second, its still kinda pointless.

Now I am fully aware that 640k is actually not enough memory for anybody, but come on guys, what sort of need would we really have for 800Gbps on a cellphone or tablet? There reaches a point where the returns diminish beyond human perception.

Why the "notsexist" and "!sexist" tags for this article?

I read the summary a couple of times ( yes, I really did! I dont care if you dont believe me ), and I am struggling to find any sexism or innuendo.

Whats the deal?

Is it because of the word "these", or the word "entirely" ?
Or is it because of the sentence "That's more than a third of the speed of light." ?

Its getting really hard to tell these days whats sexist and what isnt, so if somebody could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

It matters by a "care co-efficient" of >0.

I hate to be pedantic but....ahh fuck it, I LOVE to be pedantic....the propagation delay of signals in anything other than a vacuum is always a fraction of c. So the speed of the signals through a cable can be anything from 65% to >90% of light speed in a vacuum.

But at the end of the day, the propagation delay in the cable itself is still way way less than 1 microsecond, which is not perceptible in the slightest for a human. The electronics at either end of the cable are a whole different ballgame, and are the cause of perceptible lag and delays in a system.

How will people function in society if they are completely unable to write?
Filling out a form? Writing a note on a piece of paper? Or the hundreds of thousands of times in a lifetime where you needed to write something with a pen/pencil?

What happens if you forget your phone, or the power goes out, or.....for fuck sake, how can you function with such a disability?

Whats the alternative?

Seriously, I want to find a new site to frequent that is worthy of a Slashdot replacement, because I too am completely sick of this downwards slide.

Also, bonus points for a site on the INTERnet that does not automatically assume its entire audience is American.

You fed a troll. Why did you do that?

You give the masses anonymity, you get to see the worst of humanity. Try not to let it get to you. As a species, we suck, but not all of us are bad.

I would like to officially confirm that I am in no way interested in selling my 6+ for anything less than retail.

To get a Blackbury instead of my 6+, they would have to pay me significantly more than what I paid for my smartphone as its obviously a big downgrade.

Do.
Not.
Want.

Surprisingly, you are way off the mark. It is simply pronounced "Skrypnyk".

Both Parties are crooks. How can you blame the voters for an evil choice when the choices are evil and evil?

No, I do not agree that representative government is a lost cause. But I absolutely do believe that American representative government is clearly a lost cause.

Americans have no real choice when it comes to change. Obama has proven that change does not happen, no matter that a would-be president says.

Americans have only two choices. And those two choices have proven time and time and time and time and time again that those two choices are bad choices. The influence of money and corruption permeates all levels of government. The People are utterly powerless to effect any real lasting change. The choices are bad and bad. Whats the point of voting in a two party system?

Wake up America.
Seriously. Wake the fuck up.
Even if you do, I think it may be too late.

You have gone far beyond the pathetic joke of the Western world, and are deep into farce territory. So deep that I truly cannot see any way out for you all.

I dont know if you can climb out of the midden that you have let yourselves slide into. It may be a lost cause.

There is nothing else to say. America as a Leader of the Free World is a long lost naive ideal. But you all have yourselves to blame.

  I truly pity you.

News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters.

Serious question here, but how did you determine that you were able to install Windows 2000 Server whilst asleep?

Was it due to sleepwalking?
